In nearly every week, Apple will unveil its new iPhone 17 lineup with some main modifications to the Professional line. Whereas the sizes will stay the identical, the telephones are anticipated to be barely thicker with a brand-new digicam bar that stretches throughout the highest third of the cellphone.
Which means in case you’re upgrading, you’re going to wish a brand new case that matches the brand new design. We’ve gotten a take a look at a few of them over the previous couple of weeks, and now a pair of leaks from Majin Bu and Sonny Dickson showcase the brand new clear case that Apple has made since MagSafe was launched with the iPhone 12.
Nevertheless, this time round it’s not so clear. As a substitute of a white circle surrounding the Apple brand, Apple has apparently opted to cowl your complete glass backside of the case with a white rectangle that absolutely obscures the coloured glass with a centered Apple brand.
Based mostly on leaked photographs of the iPhone 17 Professional, the cellphone could have a really completely different look this 12 months, with an oblong piece of glass floating under the digicam bar. Some photographs place the Apple brand in the same location as on the iPhone 16 Professional, whereas others shift the brand decrease to be centered inside the glass body. It’s a small element, but it surely could possibly be the explanation why Apple would go for a white space somewhat than a circle. If the Apple brand is within the flawed spot, it may upset the steadiness of the case.
The present mannequin has a MagSafe circle that encircles the Apple brand, however the iPhone 17 Professional’s bigger digicam bump and decrease brand placement may have an effect on that design. As seen on the within of the leaked case above, the MagSafe circle remains to be centered on the again of the cellphone, that means it’s close to the highest fringe of the glass part. That’s most likely why Apple opted to cover it.
Nonetheless, it’s a unique look and one which’s sure to be polarizing. Whereas the cellphone’s pure shade will nonetheless be seen within the digicam bar and alongside the perimeters of the white space, it takes away a lot of the attraction of a transparent case. It’s additionally unusual that it’s white somewhat than coloured to match the cellphone, although Bu says Apple is engaged on “tinted clear variants” that would arrive as “restricted seasonal editions sooner or later.”
At any price, we’ll know very quickly what Apple has in retailer for each the iPhone 17 Professional and its instances. Apple’s “Awe Dropping” iPhone 17 Professional occasion kicks off at 10 am PT on Tuesday, September 9.
